Crowne Plaza Changi Airport Secures Top Hotel Honour for Eleventh Straight Year
In a prestigious ceremony held at PTE World in London, the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport in Singapore has been awarded the title of World's Best Airport Hotel for the eleventh consecutive year. This recognition comes from the Skytrax 2026 World Airport Awards, often dubbed the "Oscars of the airport industry," which are based on comprehensive annual customer satisfaction surveys involving travellers from over 550 airports globally.
Aviation-Themed Design and Family-Friendly Innovations
Breaking away from the conventional, business-focused model of typical airport accommodations, the Crowne Plaza Changi immerses guests in an aviation-inspired environment. One of its standout features is the collaboration with Kiztopia to create family suites that captivate children with plane-themed spaces and interactive elements, transforming layovers into exciting adventures.
Beyond its unique interior design, the hotel offers a variety of curated experiences through its Crowne Plaza Social programme. Guests can participate in hands-on activities such as cooking workshops and cocktail-making sessions, all without needing to leave the airport vicinity. For those seeking relaxation, the Daily Rituals wellness routines are specifically designed to help travellers recover from the stresses of long journeys.
Pioneering Sleep Technology and Prime Location
The hotel's commitment to innovation extends to guest comfort, as it is the first in Singapore to equip every room with NuCalm sleep technology. This patented neuroscience system promotes stress relief, improved sleep quality, enhanced focus, and faster recovery, ensuring visitors wake up refreshed before or after their flights.
Adding to its appeal, the Crowne Plaza Changi boasts an unparalleled location with direct access to all terminals of Singapore Changi Airport and the renowned Jewel Changi Airport complex. This connectivity eliminates the hassle of shuttle transfers, providing seamless convenience for travellers.
Leadership and Industry Recognition
General manager Greg Gublani expressed pride in the achievement, stating, "We are deeply honoured to receive this award for the 11th consecutive year. It celebrates our team's dedication to delivering True Hospitality and enriching guest journeys through blended travel experiences, from crafting pastas to supporting well-being."
This accolade coincides with Singapore Changi Airport's own top ranking as the world's best airport for 2026, followed by Incheon International Airport in Seoul, Tokyo International Airport, Hong Kong International Airport, and Narita International Airport in Greater Tokyo.
